"Everyone, Cosenza’s army has entered the Bruti barracks two miles away. According to the spies’ report, the number of the enemy may be more than 20,000." Dracos said to everyone, receiving the enemy, he Not only did not feel nervous, but relieved.

It turned out that the two thousand Visignia fighters took the initiative to surrender. Dracos was having a headache on how to arrange them. Bajilippi gave a suggestion that Nikuru would soon lead Cosenza’s army back to retaliate. For this reason, except for a few wounded fighters who can return to Bisignia to recover from their wounds, everyone else must stay in the newly built fortress to help the Dionians defend against Nikuru’s attack. In order to prevent Dracos from suspicion that he had too much military power, Bajilippi also offered to propose that the warriors of all races should be led by the leaders of all races.

Dracos is very grateful for Bacchilippi’s empathy, but after all, not long after the fight between Dionia and Bisignia, some of the families of Bisignia fighters died in Dionia. In the hands of the soldiers, the enmity between the two clans could not be eliminated so quickly. In the small fortress, the conflict between the soldiers of the two parties was inevitable. Dracos and Bajilippi were broken by this. Drax, who has always been bad at handling such matters, is eager to turn the attention of the soldiers to resist the enemy's attack.

After Dracos finished speaking, Adpiejis translated his words in Bruti again, and the captains were eager to try.

Although Crelu is nervous, he knows that he must assist the Dionians to block the Bruti coalition's attack, or let the enemy invade. He is probably the first person Nikuru will kill.

Bajilippi sits still, but his thoughts are roughly similar to those of young Krem.

Only Bream covered his abdomen, which had been stabbed with a spear by a Dionian soldier, and then wrapped tightly with a cloth by a doctor. He waved his other hand and said in astonishment: "Twenty thousand Cosenza Warrior! Are there so many fighters in Cosenza now?!"

"I think Pi'anlun should also gather fighters from the Ambanians and other tribes." Bajilippi said.

Brim's astonishment has faded a bit, but he is still sighing: "Twenty thousand soldiers! This is a powerful army that Bruti has never had before!"

"What's this! A lot of the city-state troops of more than 20,000 people have lost to me Dionia, Crotone to the south! Mesapi and Puchetti across the bay! ... We are not afraid There are too many enemies, so I’m afraid there are too few enemies!" Trotiras stood up and said impassionedly. The son-in-law of Anticoris, who had been with the mercenary, was only a soldier when he arrived at Turri. The captain is now the captain commanding a thousand people.

His words were unanimously approved by the other captains.

Brim was unconvinced and wanted to say it again, being held down by Bajilippi with his hand.

First Captain Adrianx saw this situation and looked at Drax, and found that the legionnaire seemed to have no intention of talking. He knew the temperament of his old friend, so he came out and said: "Cosenza Although the team is huge, we also have tens of thousands of soldiers and fortresses as a barrier. According to Lord Daves, "If the attacking party does not have several times the strength of the defending party, it is difficult to easily win "Not to mention that the army led by Master Daves will be here soon!"

Obviously, the resounding name of Daves made Bream lose his desire to refute.

At this time, Dracos saw the silence in the hall recovered and began to say: "Zpit, how is the training situation of the two thousand newly arrived Dionian freedmen under your jurisdiction?"

Tspit said with satisfaction: "The freedmen sent by the Senate seem to have been strictly selected. They have undergone many military trainings and are able to obey orders well. Archery and javelin are their strengths. Physical combat can also resist for a while. I have arranged them in a good team and they can fully play a role in defending the city."

"That's good." Although Dracos was satisfied, there was no smile on his face. He kept his face calm and continued: "Given the small walkway of the new wooden wall, it cannot accommodate too many soldiers. When the enemy attacks Time, war, you lead the light infantry brigade and the two thousand freemen on the wooden wall to carry out uninterrupted long-range attacks on the attacking enemy, until the enemy is close to the wall, you immediately command them to retreat under the wall and let the archers We continue to use projectiles to kill the enemy and disrupt their offensive rhythm."

"Legion commander, don't worry! Hades will bless my brigade. I am afraid that the enemy will be repelled by my brothers before your turn!" Zpitt said confidently.

Dracos is happy to see the fighting spirit of his men, but he will not admire and encourage like Daves, or even make jokes and enliven the atmosphere. He just nodded his head and did not respond, looking around other captains. Continue to tell his battle plan: "After Tspit’s troops retreated to the city, the first and second battalions and the Bisinian fighters quickly went up to the city! The first and second battalions guarded the wooden wall to the south, and the Bisinian fighters defended the north. Don’t leave any gaps for the enemy’s attack!

The third and fourth teams, as reserve teams, are waiting in the city. Once a dangerous situation is discovered, they will immediately go to support!

The fifth and sixth teams stay at Bisignia City! ......Everyone, do you understand your mission? ! "

"Understood! Brutus is here, we Bisignia fighters will never let a Cosenza climb up a wooden wall!" The young patriotic Krem responded first, and he also represented Baguili Pi and the silent Bream made a promise to Dracos.

"Legion commander, this is not fair! Our fifth and sixth battalions also want to go to the fortress to kill the enemy!" The sixth battalion captain Trotilas cried out.

Although the fifth captain didn't speak, the lost expression on his face explained it all.

Dracos looked unhesitating, and said forcefully: "This is an order!"

"But—" Trotiras wanted to refute, and was interrupted by Adrianx: "Tro Tiras, you have to understand that the city of Visignia is very important to us! The Cosenza people have broken through the fortress. The city of Bisignia you are stationed in will be the last line of defense to stop the enemy from blocking the mountains, and it is also the forward base to welcome the army led by Lord Daves!"

In order to wake him up, Adrianx did not hesitate to be a "crow's mouth". Trotiras was just impulsive, not a fool. He immediately understood what Adrianx meant: Bisini Without the testimony of the Dionian soldiers, if there is a repetition, the third legion will be cut off, not only will it be in great danger, but it will also completely fail the offensive plan made by Master Davers!

"I...accept the order." Trotiras replied immediately.

………………………

"Woo!...Woo!..." Bruti's horn sounded in the distance.

Zipite held on to the crevice of the wooden wall and looked out: I saw that the yellow-green grass in front was covered by dense enemies, like a black tide rushing towards the wall...

It should be said that the array of the Bruti is relatively neat and tight, not as loose as the Lucania. Two hundred meters away from the fortress, the Bruti stopped advancing,

"Catch up the slaves and fill in those traps for me!" Pi Anlun ordered blankly.

Two thousand slaves, mainly Greeks, looted from Great Greece from various tribes of Bruti over the years, under the threat of warriors with spears, came to the front with sacks full of soil on their backs. Start shaking and walking forward...

"Captain, they have entered the trap area!" The soldier next to Zpitre reminded a little anxiously.

Zipite looked at him, smiled, and said: "You are a recruit, don't worry, let more enemies come into range."

A slave dropped the sack on his back, turned and ran. Another slave immediately threw the sacks in the gap next to him...one by one, the scene was both tense and a little chaotic. Sometimes slaves accidentally stepped on the trap and uttered a scream, prompting the slaves to put the sacks more nervously.

However, the supervising Bruti warriors not only used leather whips to beat the perfunctory slaves, but also stabbed them to death with spears.

Faced with the threat of death, the slaves dared not to be lazy, and obediently ran to the back of the array, then carried the sacks and continued to pave the road.

"The archer is ready!" Spite felt that time was ripe and raised his right arm.

More than 500 archers from the Seventh Battalion and two thousand freemen stood on the four-meter-high wooden wall, drawing bows and arrows one after another.

80 meters is within the range of the bow and arrow! After chanting a few Hades chants in silence, Zpitt waved his right hand down: "Let it go!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!..." With the continuous sound of bowstrings, more than two thousand sharp arrows rushed into the sky, and in a flash, they whizzed down evenly among the slave groups, and suddenly a **** flower appeared, miserable. The cry continues...

Pi Anlun couldn't help being moved when he saw this scene. It was not because of the deaths and injuries of the slaves, but the fact that there were so many Archers of the Dionians, and from the point of view of the arrows, the level of the archers was not bad.

Isn’t the Dionian army here, but a main force of the enemy? ! You know, the Bisignia who fled to Cosenza before told him that there were not too many enemies attacking Bisignia, and there should be no more than a thousand people! In his narration, Nikuru, who fled back to Cosenza yesterday, increased the number of enemies by two thousand people... All of these information made him still have considerable confidence in "taking back the city of Bisignia". However, when he came here, a fortress that had begun to take shape had already surprised him, and the Dionians had only one round of arrows, which made her vigilant.

"Big Chief, there are so many enemy archers!" Petaru obviously realized this, and said with some concern.

Pi Anlun kept the surface calm: "Let these Greek slaves continue to consume the bows and arrows of the Dionians, even if they are all dead!"

The Bruti soldiers executed more than a dozen escaped slaves and shocked the others. The slaves were forced to fill the soil again, and the walls were still shooting merciless arrows...
